Leicester Tigers

I understand the argument that sport should not be a vehicle for political statement but IMHO thanking NHS staff for working day and night to save thousands of lives during a pandemic isn't making a political statement, it's rightly recognising the real heroes in this country in a public way while k...

Excited to see what this side can do with our new Fijian lads in the back 3.

Shame we couldn't have just snook an LBP, there are some positive signs though, definitely.

I'd also add that the team look fitter than they did pre-lockdown. Mr Walters doing his job.

There are some green shoots here. The team haven't collapsed but have hung in there. That at least, is an improvement.

Foley finally gives a pen for blocking....61 mins in.

3 of their tries have come off basic errors from Worth when he's been under very little pressure.

That's a straightforward catch, for goodness sake.

Reffell off?

Poor captaincy from TY there, he needed to ask for time from Foley there. He's clearly favouring Exeter so at least try and play him.

Not a great start to the second half.

Shame we're down, we've been good with the exception of Worth who has had a mare at fullback.

Quite happy to see us sign a thug to be perfectly honest. Very happy with the signing of Wiese if true.

As others have already said, we've missed that bit of devil in the last couple of years.

Cautiously optimistic sums up my feelings. Murphy looks likely to be a much better DoR than HC. Borthwick has bags of potential as HC. The rest of the coaching team appears stronger than before. On the other hand, Murphy and Borthwick are both unproven in their roles, so it isn't guaranteed to be a...
